New swtndIe bv sawdust Men.

New YORK, July 30-The heads of the five
sawdust gangs in this city have devised a
scheme to defraud unwary countrymen. and
again flooding the mails with letters and crcu-
lars. Instead of the old circular which offered
counterfeit money for sale, they have prepared
a circular in which it is stated that mouey has
been left to the person to whom the letter is sent
by distant relative, and that the legacy can be
secured by the payment of certain sum of
money to an agent in this city. Accompanying
the circular is separate piece of paper which
is printed the name and address of the agent. AZ
ter the victim has received several letters and has
answered them, he is invited to come to New
York When he arrives in the city he is met by
a ..capper," who conducts him to tho agents"
Office. Then, if he has the commission he is
shown the money, which is afterward packed in
box. and he is advised TO ship it by express.
The box containing the money is not taken from
the Office, but containing sawdust and
bricks is substituted when the victim is
looking. This is shipped, and when the victim
arrives home ne is surprised to learn that he
has been swindled. The post-ofice officials have
received numerous complaints about these cir
culars. A short time ago a man named S. r..
Wisner, of Bethel, Mich, swindled in this

The affair created the widest excitement
throuehout the South. The dead man was re-

time since the war it has been vaguely intimat-

once imaginative newspaper correspondents
have described the Generals efforts to escape
from his relentless foe.
Now, all this seems probable and yet there Is

tickets for corpses. A corpse OF any age re-
quires one full first class, limited ticket and 40

can any stopo over check be issued upon it. The
corpse must be accompanied by at least one

boxed, it must be accompanied by certificate
of the attending physician to the effect that de-
ceased did not die of any contagious disease, and
across the coupon ticket must be written in
stead of deceaseds signature the word corpse
That is the law upon every railroad In the
United States.
"A passenger is allowed only $50 pounds of
baggage, or seventy-fve pounds upon half

VIII have to pay excess baggage Which charge

The interstate law requires railroads to carry
children under five years of age, when accom-

/ am told curious story here by journalists
who vouch for what they say about the feelings
Of the Beechers the subject of some of the
great preachers biographers. You will remem-
Der how every who had the slightest &C
quaintance with the Plymouth pastor rushed
into print about him before his body was cold
and proceeded to coin their chance rencontres
with him, the sayings that they overheard and
whatever they happened to know about HIM
int ready money. This not surprising in
those who had made no special claim to being
pseudo literary men are obliged to
watch the market and profit by the
upward tendency of certain literary
stocks which may be doomed by the death of
prominent men, and the Beechers felt and ex-
pressed surprise at it. But it was well
known that the great orator had lived lavishly
and pretty well up to his liberal salary so that at
his death he had not great deal to leave. 1t
was RENE bered that Grants memoirs had
made the difference between wealth and poverty
to his wife, and it hoped that something
similar would follow the publication of authentic
memoirs of Mr.. Beecher. Knowing this, the
family scarcely anticipated that men who had
claimed Mr.. Beechers friendship and received
favors from him would anticipate their profits
and cheaper the results of their labors by rush
ing lives of him upon the market before it
possible for them to prepare a careful and au-
thentic memoir. The story is that Mrs.
Beecher feels especial resentment for
this reason against Mr. Joseph How
ard. ir, and. more than even, for the
deed, for the manner in which it done. She
finds Mr.. Towards memoir particularly offenS-
i've from its flippant and familiar tone. and 1t is
said that even if. in the coming book she is at
work upon. she does not pi!ory some of her
tipathies and some of her husbands apparent
Bohemian favorites, somehow and son where
she will yet do 1t. Those who discuss this natter
here and there are many who do, assert that it
is curious fact that Mr.. Beecher's body still
lies in the receiving vault. and Mrs Beecher's
friends do not hesitate to assert that it is be-
cause the lot at Greenwood to which il is nat
urally expected the body would be consigned is
owned in part by Joe Howard and that beside
him. in no matter how remote future Mrs.
Beecber will not permit her own or her hus-
bands ESPECIALLY her own) bones to lie. They
also add that she contemplates purchasing an
other lot eventually-as soon as she is able to do
so-but that IN the meantime Mr.. Beecher's re-
mains will rest where they are rather than occu-
py the ground where his whilom friend might at
any moment seek grave.
